Decent card overall and gives control paladin a nice boost. Now all they need is a win condition! :D
I have just 1 big question:
What is the win condition in Control Paladin, that can outlast other control decks? I mean the otk is most likely impossible to create and otherwise there is no big value generator besides Stonehill Defender.
If you just want to defeat aggro, it might become better, but still, it is going to struggle a lot.
ALL MINIONS
I think you guys underastimate this card.Control Pally incoming and its gonna be strong :D
maybe combo with stonehill defender as a defensive measure, or combo with wailing soul in wild to swing an even board in your favor, lol
So a worse Equality when it comes to normalizing health for board clears, and a worse Sunkeeper Tarim when it comes to controlling the board or trading into large minions. I guess the only application for this is in Odd Pally, but even then, you're spending five mana to at most kill 2 taunts. Against anything else, you're playing this so that you don't take a million damage from your opponent's Sea Giant and Marin the Fox.
This reminds me of blast crystal potion, an okay card that would never see play because it is unnecessary (or in a Reno deck.)
feel like tarim does a better job at equalizing the board. this feels like a child of eadric and equality, and we all know eadric was completely useless, so this is basically a 5 mana equality
So its like a flexible Eadric the Pure combined with Equality - I don't like it, apart from finding a place in stall/combo decks, I don't see where you'd play this otherwise, it's pretty bad for the mana cost.
Probably a weaker version of Equality. Control Paladins can fit this in with Mossy Horror but you'd be willing to take at least 1-7 damage before you can play your Mossy Horror for board clear.
I don't think it will see any play.
Feels like a reprint of Equality...can it carry a Control Paladin? Doubtful personally for me (can't explain it yet either), but maybe? At the very least has potential.
Maybe a pure Controlly Paladin that doesn't seek to play minions, then?
Communism: Never worked; never will.
Better dead than red!
Proletariat on both sides of the board, unite!
Reminds me of Gandhi paladin from the first top 2 tavern brawl. 15 copies of Humility and 15 copies of Forbidden Healing. Get the enemy's whole board full of 1 attack minions and just heal through the damage once every 3 turns.
Paladin: Communism class
To be fair he is all about equality.
Just low attack, that is all.
omg! I love this card! Even more board control and clear for Paladin!
My Zapthrottle Mote Extractor is detecting a lot of salt in this air.
Don't worry, odd paladin won't play this. Aggro decks almost never play removal tools at all, and definitely not ones that cost 5 Mana and don't add any stats onto the board.
